King James Version
And there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
And the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying,
`
Son of man, set thy face unto
Jerusalem, and prophesy
unto
the holy places, and prophesy unto
the ground
of Israel ;
Son of man, set thy face toward
Jerusalem, and drop
thy
word
toward
the holy places, and prophesy against
the land
of Israel ,
and thou
hast
said
unto
the ground
of Israel :
Thus said
Jehovah:
Lo
, I `
am '
against thee, And have
brought
out
My sword from
its
scabbard
, And have
cut off from thee righteous and wicked.
And say
to
the land
of Israel ,
Thus saith
the
LORD;
Behold
, I am against thee, and will
draw
forth
my sword out
of
his
sheath
, and will
cut off from thee the
righteous and the
wicked.
Because
that I have
cut off from thee righteous and wicked, Therefore go
out
doth
My sword from
its
scabbard,
Unto
all flesh ,
from south to north .
Seeing
then
that I will
cut off from thee the
righteous and the
wicked, therefore shall
my sword go
forth
out
of
his
sheath
against
all flesh from the
south to the
north :
And
known
have
all flesh that I ,
Jehovah,
Have brought
out
My sword from
its
scabbard,
It doth
not turn
back
any more.
That
all flesh may
know
that I the
LORD
have drawn
forth
my sword out
of
his
sheath:
it shall
not return
any more.
And
thou
, son of man, sigh
with breaking of loins ,
yea,
with bitterness thou
dost
sigh before their eyes ,
Sigh
therefore
, thou
son of man, with the
breaking of thy
loins ;
and
with bitterness sigh before their eyes .
and it hath
come
to
pass
, when they say unto thee, For
what
art
thou sighing
? that thou hast
said:
Because
of
the
report
, for it is
coming,
And melted
hath
every heart, And feeble
hath
been
all hands, And weak
is
every spirit, And all knees go
--
waters,
Lo
, it is
coming,
yea
, it
hath
been
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
. '
And it shall
be
, when they say unto thee, Wherefore
sighest
thou? that thou shalt
answer
, For the
tidings;
because
it cometh:
and every heart shall
melt
, and all hands shall
be
feeble
, and every spirit shall
faint
, and all knees shall
be
weak
as
water:
behold
, it cometh
, and
shall
be
brought
to
pass
, saith
the Lord GOD
.
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
Again
the
word of the
LORD
came
unto me, saying,
`
Son of man, prophesy, and thou
hast
said
, Thus said
Jehovah,
say :
A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also polished.
Son of man, prophesy, and say
, Thus saith
the
LORD;
Say ,
A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
So
as
to
slaughter
a
slaughter
it is sharpened .
So
as
to have
brightness
it is polished,
Desire
hath
rejoiced
the sceptre
of my son, It
is
despising
every tree.
It is sharpened to make
a
sore
slaughter;
it is furbished
that
it
may
glitter:
should
we
then
make
mirth?
it
contemneth
the rod
of my son, as
every tree.
And he giveth
it for
polishing
, For
laying
hold
of
by
the
hand.
It is sharpened --
the
sword
--
and polished
, To give it into the hand of a
slayer.
And he hath
given
it to
be
furbished
, that
it may
be
handled:
this
sword
is sharpened ,
and it
is
furbished
, to give it into the hand of the
slayer.
Cry and howl, son of man ,
For it hath
been
among
My people, It `is'
among
all the princes of Israel ,
Cast
unto
the sword have
been
My people .
Therefore strike
on
thy thigh ,
Cry and howl, son of man :
for it shall
be
upon
my people, it shall
be
upon
all the princes of Israel :
terrors
by
reason
of
the sword shall
be
upon
my people :
smite
therefore upon
thy thigh .
Because `
it is '
a trier
, And what if even the sceptre
it
is
despising
? It shall not
be, an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
Because it is a trial
, and what if the
sword
contemn
even the rod
? it shall be no
more
, saith
the Lord GOD
.
And
thou, son of man, prophesy, And smite hand
on
hand,
And bent
is
the sword a
third time, The sword of the wounded!
It `
is '
the sword of the wounded
--
the
great one,
That is
entering
the
inner
chamber
to
them
.
Thou therefore
, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine
hands
together.
and let
the sword be
doubled
the
third time, the sword of the slain:
it is the sword of the great men
that are
slain,
which
entereth
into
their
privy
chambers
.
To
melt
the
heart,
and
to
multiply
the
ruins,
By
all
their
gates
I have set the point of a
sword .
Ah
, it is made for
brightness
, Wrapt
up for slaughter.
I have set the point of the
sword against
all
their
gates
, that
their
heart
may
faint,
and
their
ruins
be
multiplied:
ah!
it is made bright
, it
is
wrapped
up for the
slaughter.
Take
possession
of
the right, place
thyself
at
the left, Whither
thy face is appointed
.
Go
thee
one
way
or
other,
either
on
the right hand
, or
on
the left, whithersoever
thy face is set
.
And
I also ,
I
smite My
hand
on
my
hand
, And have
caused
My fury to rest ;
I ,
Jehovah,
have spoken
. '
I will
also smite mine
hands
together
, and I
will
cause
my fury to rest :
I the
LORD
have said
it
.
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto me, saying,
The
word of the
LORD
came
unto me again
, saying,
`And
thou
, son of man, appoint for
thee two ways, for
the
coming
in
of
the sword of the king of Babylon ;
from
one
land
they
come forth,
both of them,
and a
station
prepare
thou, at the top
of the way of
the city prepare
`it'
.
Also
, thou
son of man, appoint thee two ways, that
the sword of the king of Babylon may
come :
both twain
shall
come
forth
out
of one
land:
and choose
thou a
place
, choose
it
at the head
of the way to
the city.
A way appoint
for
the
coming
of
the sword ,
Unto
Rabbath of the sons
of
Ammon
, And to Judah ,
in Jerusalem --
the fenced
.
Appoint
a way ,
that
the sword may
come
to
Rabbath of the Ammonites
, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced
.
For stood
hath
the king of Babylon at the head
of the way, At the top
of the two ways, to use divination ,
He hath
moved
lightly
with
the
arrows, He hath
asked
at
the
teraphim
, He hath
looked on
the liver.
For the king of Babylon stood
at the parting
of the way, at the head
of the two ways, to use divination :
he made
his
arrows bright
, he consulted
with
images
, he looked in
the liver.
At his right hath
been
the divination --
Jerusalem, To place
battering-rams
, To open the mouth with
slaughter, To lift up a
voice with shouting, To place
battering -
rams against the gates, To pour
out
a mount, to build a fortification
.
At his right hand
was
the divination for
Jerusalem, to appoint
captains
, to open the mouth in
the
slaughter, to lift up the
voice with shouting, to appoint
battering rams against the gates, to cast
a mount, and
to build a fort
.
And it hath
been
to
them as a false divination in their eyes
, Who
have sworn oaths to
them,
And
he is
causing
iniquity
to
be
remembered
to be caught
.
And it shall
be
unto
them as a false divination in their sight
, to
them
that
have sworn oaths :
but
he will
call
to remembrance
the
iniquity,
that
they
may
be taken
.
Therefore ,
thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Because of
your
causing
your iniquity to be remembered, In your transgressions being
revealed,
For
your
sins
being
seen
, in all your doings ,
Because
of
your being
remembered
, By
the
hand
ye are caught
.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Because ye
have
made
your iniquity to be remembered, in that
your transgressions are
discovered
, so
that
in all your doings your sins
do
appear;
because
, I
say,
that
ye are come
to
remembrance,
ye
shall
be
taken
with
the
hand
.
And thou, wounded,
wicked one,
Prince of Israel, whose day hath
come, In
the
time
of
the
iniquity of
the
end !
And thou, profane
wicked prince of Israel, whose day is
come, when
iniquity shall
have
an
end ,
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah:
Turn
aside
the mitre
, and bear
away
the crown ,
This --
not this
--
the low make
high
, And the
high make
low
.
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Remove
the diadem
, and take
off
the crown :
this shall
not be
the same:
exalt
him
that
is
low, and abase
him
that
is
high.
An
overturn, overturn, overturn, I
make
it ,
Also
this
hath
not
been
till
the
coming
of
Him
, Whose `
is '
the
judgment,
and I have
given
it.
I
will
overturn, overturn, overturn, it :
and
it
shall
be
no
more
, until
he
come
whose right
it
is ;
and I will
give
it him
.
And thou, son of man, prophesy ,
and thou
hast
said:
Thus said
the Lord Jehovah
concerning the sons
of
Ammon
, and concerning their reproach :
and
thou hast
said:
A
sword
, a
sword, open
for slaughter, Polished
to the utmost
for
brightness!
And thou, son of man, prophesy and say,
Thus saith
the Lord GOD
concerning the Ammonites
, and concerning their reproach ;
even
say
thou, The
sword, the
sword
is
drawn:
for the
slaughter it
is
furbished
, to consume
because
of
the glittering:
In
the
seeing
for
thee of
a
vain
thing
, In
the
divining
for
thee
of
a lie, To put
thee on
the necks of the
wounded
of the wicked, whose day hath
come, In
the
time
of
the
iniquity of
the
end.
Whiles
they
see
vanity
unto
thee, whiles
they
divine
a lie unto
thee
, to bring
thee upon
the necks of them
that
are
slain,
of the wicked, whose day is
come, when
their
iniquity shall
have
an
end.
Turn
`
it '
back
unto
its
scabbard,
In the place where thou wast produced
, In the land of thy birth
I
do
judge
thee
.
Shall
I
cause
it to
return
into
his
sheath?
I
will
judge
thee
in the place where thou wast created
, in the land of thy nativity
.
And I have
poured
on
thee
Mine indignation, With
fire
of
My
wrath
I blow against thee, And have
given
thee into the hand of brutish men --
artificers
of
destruction
.
And I will
pour
out
mine indignation upon
thee
, I will
blow against thee in
the
fire
of
my
wrath
, and deliver
thee into the hand of brutish men ,
and
skilful
to
destroy
.
To
the
fire
thou art
for fuel ,
Thy blood is
in the midst of the land ,
Thou art
not
remembered ,
For I ,
Jehovah,
have spoken !'
Thou shalt
be
for fuel to
the
fire;
thy blood shall
be
in the midst of the land ;
thou shalt
be
no
more
remembered :
for I the
LORD
have spoken it.
